Saskatchewan, a Province of Canada ranks fifth in the Country when it comes to size of land space. The governmental organization that manages the rental housing industry in Saskatchewan, the Province with the funny name, is the “Office of Residential Tenancies” or the Rentalsman. The Rentalsman handles rentals of most kinds except rentals in educational facilities, housing rented in exchange for business tasks, property units that are rented in duration of less than six successive months, health care or personal care accommodations or shelters used for crisis intervention. Additionally, farmland that is actually used by people who are farming the land, and rentals that are only for those fifty-five and over where meals are included in the rental amount and life leases.

Generally in the Province, a written lease is only required for leases with a definitive beginning date and ending date that is longer than three months. However, written lease is always the best way to go. This informative packet not only includes the entire landlord tenant laws for Saskatchewan but it also contains in the beginning pages all amendments made in 2015.

Some interesting facts to remember when renting your property to others is that you may not accept a security deposit that is more than one month rent. You must also return that security deposit once your tenant moves within seven business days. These do not include holidays or weekends.

To be completely knowledgeable use this handy pamphlet that is provided by the Office of Residential Tenancies as a tool of reference. It is also very wise to read through so that when you are in the business of renting property to others, that you operate within the limits of the allowable law.

Knowledge is power so it is said but it is also a money saver. Failing to follow the guidelines and laws set up by the Saskatchewan Office of Residential Tenancies can cause much aggravation and lots of wasted money.
